Mr Monkeys Banana Ride is one of the best looking swing ship rides I have seen to date, given its unique design as a banana! Surrounded by trees it nicely fits into the area and provides nice isolation from the busy park surrounding it.
Essentially there is nothing unique about what the ride does. Like other swing ships, its a ride that swings back and forth creating a sensation of air time on each swing. As far as swing ships go it is also a relatively small one as well, due to it being built in the time when Thorpe Park was meant for families.
All in all its a classic theme park ride that will delight anyone who ventures onto it. Due to its small size and not looking very impressive compared to other rides in the park, it is also not likely to have much of a queue.
